The veteran director, who has worked with Yadav in many films over the years, has openly spoken about the actor’s financial struggles and expressed his desire to help him recover.
Rajpal Yadav, known for making audiences laugh with his comic timing, is currently facing serious money-related issues. Reports suggest that things have not been easy for the actor lately, and he has been dealing with legal and financial troubles. Seeing this, Priyadarshan decided to step in and do what he could to support someone he has known for over two decades.
In a recent interaction, Priyadarshan shared that he has a long association with Rajpal and understands his situation well. He revealed that he even requested the producers of his upcoming film to pay Rajpal more than his usual fee. According to him, this was a small effort to help the actor get back on his feet.
The director mentioned that the producers, including Jubilee Films, agreed to his request without hesitation. This gesture shows that people in the industry are willing to come together and support artists during tough times. Priyadarshan also added that Rajpal will be seen playing a negative role in this upcoming project, which is said to be a comic entertainer.
Priyadarshan spoke honestly about Rajpal’s situation and said that the actor made some mistakes in the past. He pointed out that these issues may have occurred due to a lack of proper education and guidance. Despite that, he called Rajpal a “good soul” and someone who does not deserve to go through such hardships alone.
The director also shared that he has always tried to support Rajpal in his career. From casting him in multiple films to recommending him for advertisement projects, Priyadarshan has consistently helped him find work. Their professional bond has grown stronger over the years, turning into a personal connection as well.
Their journey together goes back many years. Priyadarshan first noticed Rajpal Yadav in the film Jungle and was impressed by his performance. Later, they collaborated on Malamaal Weekly, which marked the beginning of a successful partnership. Since then, Rajpal has been a regular part of Priyadarshan’s films, often bringing comic relief and memorable moments to the screen.
In recent days, several celebrities have come forward to support Rajpal Yadav, including Sonu Sood, Gurmeet Choudhary, and Salman Khan. Priyadarshan’s gesture adds to this growing support, showing that the film industry stands by its own in times of need.
